a classic that has not lost its relevance

One of the most famous social and psychological dramas by Ivan Franko comes to life on the stage of the Cherkasy Academic Regional Ukrainian Musical and Drama Theater named after Taras Shevchenko.

At the center of the story are three people whose destinies are forever changed by other people's decisions and pursuit of profit.
